ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Since the reverse acquisition of Amazon Natural Treasures, Inc., (NV) the Company has had limited operations and has made preparation to launch more extensive operations in the near future. Currently, the Company's capital resources are adequate for this purpose. To finance these activities the Company is engaged in the private placement of securities. The company has sufficient capitol for the start of their Direct Marketing Program, which will begin in the third quarter of 1998. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company does have limited operations and costs attributed to development of future operations. In the year-to-date ended September 30, 1997,the Company lost $653,104. In the year-to-date September 30, 1998, the Company lost $42,551, which is offset by assets in the amount of $1,636,860. PLAN OF OPERATION Amazon Natural Treasures, Inc., a privately held Nevada Company. Amazon Natural Treasures, Inc., is a multi-faceted company which is a Phytogenics Health Maintenance Company along with bringing the treasures of the Brazilian Amazon Rain Forest to the rest of the world. They produce and distribute health supplements derived from plants and related species for the cure and treatment of human illnesses and disease. The Board of Directors feel this will offer shareholders a viable business opportunity now and for the future. Amazon Natural Treasures, Inc. or A.N.T., as it is also known, was incorporated in Nevada, during 1995. It is a company with a unique mission. To bring the Amazon's naturally produced treasures, in their purest form, to the people of the world. To this end, A.N.T. has obtained the rights to export products from the Amazon area to the United States, Canada and the rest of the world. These products include: herbs, roots, plants and teas. Along with these products come their associated benefits. A.N.T. also produces and exports a bevy of additional product lines. For many years people have looked for alternative treatments for their diseases and maladies. People all over the world have had unpleasant experiences with modern (allopathic) medical treatments, that in many cases are made up of man-made chemicals that produce unwanted, if not dangerous side effects. Health food stores have made billions of dollars catering to this ever-increasing segment of the population. Many of their products are beneficial, but far too many of them contain a small percentage (usually under 10%) of there advertised ingredient(s). Ninety percent is filler. All of Amazon Natural Treasures, Inc. Phytogenics products are 100% pure and natural without any fillers. Our customers get the full potency of the product they purchase and at competitive prices. Key personnel have been actively working in the research and development phase of our Phytogenics products since 1972. In 1995 a decision was made to enter A.N.T. products into the world market. Amazon Natural Treasures' business plan for the next twelve-(12) months contemplates the utilization of an aggressive multi-dimensional marketing campaign. The company will use direct mail to qualified leads. Also planned is the placement of advertising in established and widely circulated health-related, as well as general interest publications. An "infomercial" is planned to further disseminate information into the marketplace. It is anticipated this will result in strong revenue in the first quarter of 1998 and increasing sales thereafter. This assertive plan will be implemented at the conclusion of the private placement offering. The company contemplates entering into advertising contracts with magazines, including but not limited to the following: Magazine Circulation PREVENTION 3,000,000 Rx REMEDY 1,500,000 VITALITY 1,250,000 HEALTH JOURNAL 1,200,000 AMERICAN HEALTH 1,000,689 The plan is to place full-page ads, in those magazines eventually selected, at a monthly cost of approximately Fifteen Thousand ($15,000.00) Dollars each. We expect each magazine will run an article detailing the company and its unique products. Most important, we expect the publications will provide a list of their subscribers for follow-up direct mailing. The acquisition of a total lead base of approximately seven million (7,000,000) leads is envisioned through marketing with publications. An additional one million (1,000,000) leads will be purchased from lead based companies. Amazon Natural Treasures, Inc. will purchase leads of individuals who have regularly purchased, at a minimum, two hundred fifty ($250) dollars worth of health supplements per month for the last twelve (12) months. Amazon Natural Treasures, Inc. has been informed that there are five million (5,000,000) leads available. Utilizing magazines, "infomercials, " direct mail, and lead based companies, Amazon Natural Treasures, Inc. will continue to build their lead base so that potential customers will number in the millions. The company eventually plans to publish its own catalog/magazine. The cover will feature a full color photograph of the Amazon Rain Forest with the company's logo prominently displayed. Inside, there will be messages from the principals of the company, a history of the rain forest, and a history of the company. An explanation of the company's purpose and adoption of "phytogenics " or the treatment of ailments through plants and other naturally occurring products, will also be included. The magazine will contain a chart consisting of possible symptoms/ailments people may be suffering from and corresponding product(s) customers can purchase for their treatment. Each product will be individually presented and explained on its own page. The benefits of each product, how it works, and how it should be used will be illustrated. It is anticipated articles by respected researchers and medical professionals will be included. These articles will correspond to the natural theme of the company. There will be other attractions in the magazine for the consumer, such as monthly pullout calendars and full-color pictures of the rain forest will be featured. These photographs will be unique and collectable. To this end all the photographs will be numbered and in a limited quantity. Customer testimonials, with photographs, will be included each month. There will be a "Letter to the Editor" selection each month with answers to customer's questions.

The inhabitants of the Amazon, as well as many others have taken the products for their ailments and achieved astonishing results.

Touch of Nature (TM), Product No. AR124: - --------------------------------------- Touch of Nature (TM) is a 100% pure natural product derived from the sap and leaves of a small tree found in the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest. This variety of tree has been named "Natures Taste" by one of the Company's founders, Dr. Domingos Loricchio. The sap, necessary for the product, is extracted from the Natures Taste tree in much the same manner as maple sap is obtained from maple trees in the United States and Canada. The leaves are then crushed to extract essential ingredients which are combined with the sap in a process which ultimately results in the wonderful product. Touch of Nature (TM) has characteristics which allow it to be used in the same application as sugar (saccharose or sucrose). The Nutritional Facts analysis found that "Touch of Nature (TM)" per serving has 0 fat, 0 cholesterol, 0 sodium, 0 carbohydrates and 0 protein. It also leaves no after taste as do some synthetic sweeteners, is also non-fermentable, yet is equal or better in taste than cane sugar. "Touch of Nature (TM)" possesses natural properties that permit its use and an ideal sugar substitute for calorie restricted diets or for those suffering with diabetes. As a result, "Touch of Nature (TM)" may have application in treatment programs for all forms of diabetes. This product is a delightfully surprising alternative for those individuals who prefer not to use regular sugar or do not wish to use artificial sweeteners. These qualities allow for its use as a sugar substitute in all drinks, hot or cold, as well as your favorite cooking recipes. Amazon Natural Treasures, Inc. is actively and aggressively opening new sales markets through retail distribution of Touch of Nature (TM) in health food stores throughout the country. It is the Company's goal to actively solicit not less than 1,000 stores to retail this product prior to the end of September 1998. New retail stores are being added on a daily basis. Based on each store selling 50 bottles per month, the estimated gross revenue per year initially is estimated at $2,700,000. The Company has chosen five of the best moving and most popular dietary supplements recognized throughout the United States which are: Product Number Product Name -------------- ------------ AW004PA Zuedon AW0043PR Pau D'Arco AW0072PA Una de Gato AD0100PA Akana AD0127PA Super Amazon Guarana The products will also be sold in our 1,000 store retail base. Based on each store selling 100 bottles per month, the estimated gross revenue per year initially is estimated at $18,000,000. The Company has finalized a brokerage agreement with SGN Sales who will then be selling our product, Touch of Nature (TM), to major distributors such as: Mountain People Nature's Best Tree of Life West The following are a few major retailers: Whole Foods Wild Oats Trader Joes Larry's Thri Food for Thought Food Conspiracy Rainbow Grocery PCC HairLife (TM) - Scalp Enhancement System (TM): - --------------------------------------------- The Company has begun sales and marketing of HairLife (TM) Scalp Enhancement System (TM). HairLife(TM)'s unique properties work gradually and continuously on the scalp providing a stimulating topical action due to its Phytogenic (TM) ingredients. Initially, HairLife (TM) stimulates scalp pore activity allowing the product to penetrate deep into the capillary bulbs supplying fast acting nutrients and unique cellular stimulants that gradually induce the cells to regenerate and restart their biological function. As an added bonus, HairLife (TM) delivers fast absorbing nutrients that restore dry and damaged hair. The miraculous properties of HairLife (TM) retards hair loss that is either due to heredity or other causes such as nutritional deficiencies and allopathic prescription medication side effects. Once the HairLife (TM) Scalp Enhancement System (TM) is administered, a reduction in hair loss can be noticed in as little as four to six (4-6) weeks while the actual hair re-growth process generally starts in a timeframe of sixty to ninety (60-90) days. At the beginning stages, the new hair that will grow as a direct result of the administration of HairLife (TM) on the scalp will grow at a lesser rate. (Approximately half (1/2) that of normal growing rate). HairLife (TM) has been used and tested in Brazil with remarkable results stemming over a twenty-two (22) year period. At this time, Amazon Natural Treaures, Inc. is pleased to be able to bring this Brazilian Amazon wonder hair growth product to receding hair and balding scalps worldwide! Based on representations made at a presentation by the Company at the 1998 Barbers Convention held in Las Vegas, Nevada and based on 2,500 barbers selling 6 units per month, the estimated gross revenue per year initially is estimated at $8,100,000. The Company is actively and aggressively engaged in a strategic program to eliminate the illegal shorting of their stock which will allow the Company to, once again, fulfill their $5,000,000 private placement. This will allow the Company to continue with its catalog sales and marketing program. Once implemented, the gross revenue based on industry sales figures will be an estimated $195,000,000 per annum to start. The Company also has other products ready for marketing. The kick-off date for these new products is set at a very strategic timeline. The first of these products to be marketed to the public is: a) TOUCH OF NATURE CHEWING GUM: Touch of Nature Chewing Gum contains no sugar because it is sweetened with TOUCH OF NATURE SWEETENER. It has zero calories, no cholesterol, no carbohydrates, no fat, non-fermentable, completely safe for diabetics, has NO AFTER TASTE, and comes in a variety of flavors. It has no harmful side effects as some chewing gum on the market today that contain chemicals such as Phenylalanine or Calcium Saccharin, which has been determined to cause cancer in laboratory animals. TOUCH OF NATURE CHEWING GUM is like no other chewing gum you've ever chewed before because it: - Will start to whiten your teeth within three minutes of chewing without bleaching or without any harmful effects to the teeth and gums. - Can be used instead of brushing along with a regular flossing regiment. - Prevents cavities. - Improves resistance of the gums to bacteria and diseases. - Kills germs and freshens your breath while chewing. - Is fortified with Vitamin C with all natural Amazon Rain Forest Phytogenics. - Keeps its flavor after most gums have quit, and remains soft. - Will not stick to dentures or dental work. b) SPORTS DRINK: There is a fruit that grows underneath the Amazon waters (in the river). This fruit is the worlds greatest source of pure energy and vitamin C. The molecular size of the pulp of the fruit is so small that it is the only pure vitamin C and energy that is absorbed through the intestines, but through the wall of the stomach. We make it complete with 100% natural fruit juices - no artificial flavors through a patented process called plasma water. Our own, Dr. Loricchio is able to change the molecular structure of water to do an extraction on fruit to basically get out 100% of the essence (let's say strawberries) so we can transfer that essence into our "sports" drink. c) FLAVORED TOUCH OF NATURE: Such as Cappuccino an Hot Chocolate plus many more new products that cannot be divulged at this time. The aforementioned along with many new and unique advertising marketing tools and products will be set for dissemination in the up-coming months. The Company's management believes that this will create an extaordinary revenue stream which will in turn make Amazon Natural Treasures, Inc. a viable entity while successfully building stockholders equity. The company is presently operating at 4011 West Oquendo Road, Suite C, Las Vegas, Nevada 89118 (Corporate Offices); 3977 West Oquendo Road, Suite C, Las Vegas, Nevada 89118 (Investor Relations); 6435 South Valley View Boulevard, Suite G, Las Vegas, Nevada 89118 (Distribution Center); Rua Dona Cesaria Fagundes, 209 Vila Mariana Sao Paulo/ SP-Brasil CEP 04054-030; Rua Belem, 1036 Facing Rue Recife, Andrianopolis, Manaus Brazil; 470 North Rivermeade Drive, Unit #7, Concord, Ontario, Canada L4K3R8. The anticipate demand, in the North American market, is expected to be particularly strong. Evidenced by the fact that even though A.N.T. has recently commenced importing these products, and has yet to commence an official marketing campaign, "word-of-mouth" has already created a positive reaction, which has required the ordering of addition products. Once it is felt the North American market is being fully maximized, the company will look to international markets for expansion. The company has established important relationships with officials of the Government of Brazil. These officials have expressed an interest in establishing a museum, dedicated to the Amazon area, in Las Vegas, Nevada. They feel Las Vegas is an ideal location to promote the Amazon and its many assets due to the high number of visitors from throughout the world. This would be a joint venture between Amazon Natural Treasures, the Brazilian government, State of Nevada, and local authorities. Amazon Natural Treasures would be responsible for the day to day management. This project should give our company world-wide exposure and, it is hoped, provide the momentum for a weekly spin-off of a television series dedicated to the 2,700,000 square miles of the Brazilian rain forest. The company has negotiated a favorable price schedule for the harvesting of their products; this should allow for a strong profit margin on sales. In turn, it should result in a healthy bottom line for the company. The company will offer monthly specials so customers can take advantage of by sending in coupons throughout the catalog/magazine. Order forms will be included throughout the catalog/magazine. Customers will be able to place their orders by e-mail, u.s. mail ortelephone. Amazon Natural Treasures will accepts checks, money orders, ATM or Debit cards, and all major credit cards. There will be a shipping and handling charge added to all orders. It is anticipated, at some point, circulation of Amazon Natural Treasures' catalog/magazine will reach significant numbers of people. At that time, advertising space will be sold to health-related, but noncompeting, companies for their products. The revenue generated will offset the costs associated with the catalog/magazine. Amazon Natural Treasures is poised to enter and capture a segment of the multi-billion dollar market in health supplements and create a new market niche for the rest of their unique product lines.
